There already are 1/350 models of Renown and Vanguard, though not in plastic.
I built Tamiya's KGV a few years ago and was surprised by the quality of the model even though it's decades old; albeit I would agree that some new tooling for the KGVs wouldn't hurt, particularly if they made something else than King George herself and Prince of Wales. Duke of York would be a nice pick to pair with a Scharnhorst.
Maybe they've changed their mind about what would be more profitable to market.

Exciting that we are finally moving on to what to me is the most classic looking Battlship of all (pre WW2). Single funnel, ram bow, 4 turrets, tall structure, mast. It doesnt look overwhelemed by them as QEs did, has nice wide bulges, etc. The thing is a looker and will look fantastic in 1/350 scale on any shelf. Well done to the makers.

Indeed Revenge sported some pretty camouflage schemes in her time:  And would have been the among the last lines of defence for Britain had Operation Sealion gone ahead. Still though. I will be very happy to see any R Classes in 1:350 plastic. Indeed Revenge sported some pretty camouflage schemes in her time:

I would prefer to model an HMS Revenge, I would model her as on Operation Medium, when in the early hours of 11th October 1940, she with six destroyers and a screen of MGBs bombarded the invasion barges gathered at the port of Cherbourgm with a covering force of three cruisers and six destroyers.
A relatively unknown action from which the RN learnt a lot about real night-time bombardment (they wrote it up in a CAFO (Confidential Admiralty Fleet Order).
